I fully understand this outburst ... !
Sometimes you've just gotta let it out, Bill... that's what blogs are for, right?
Following your lead, I decided to create my own haiku blog: Haiku Koo-Koo
I’ve also issued a Poetry Challenge on my other blog, if anyone is interested.
Poetry Challenge
I have been following as always....and I too thinks its all needed, sometimes... Thanks Bill :)
"As the people, so the government" and "In a democracy people get the government they deserve" --
Even Plato and Tocqueville would have been annoyed in their times to quote so :)

Write what you know, write what you know, write, write, write...
Thank you for your comments, I have been away for awhile. No time, considering.
Bill, I ALWAYS listen to your feedback. My post was in haste, I changed two lines, one based on your suggestion, and also the line freed stars....
(write what you know, is all I know) and I am so glad it rang true with you.
Keep writing
Dianne
i LOVE the slick one ...
as always, and i know i repeat myself often on your blog, you have a way with words and ideas that are just 'so' ... 'right' ...
gosh, no apology necessary ... the sort of made me smile ... :)
the frustration is understandable and underlines my 'need' to resist buying the newspaper >> Gina
Thanks for that, Monika.
Eric, I'll be interested to follow your haiku development.
Devika, good to hear from you, my friend. I visit your blog regularly.
Dianne, I'm also a regular visitor at your blog. I rarely comment on poems other than haiku and related forms, unless I think I can offer a helpful hint, always in a spirit of good will and collegiality.
Gina, I can relate to your need.
Thanks, all.
Best, Bill K
Bill, Haruo Shirane wrote a really interesting essay where he considers the present and future state of haiku in English and recommends widening the scope of haiku subject matter to encompass things like politics and social issues (among other things). I think these are a great step toward that kind of widening.
Oh my, dear thank you so much :)

devika
I don't think you should need to apologise, you should feel free to blog about what you feel strongly about!
Thanks for the input, Melissa.
Juliet, this is not a political blog, and I try not to use/abuse it to vent on political issues. But I don't pretend to be a political eunuch, either. Thanks for the comment.
